FORT WORTH, TEN, July 9, 1857.
The volume of merchandise moved to-
day is reported larger than any day this
year.
Sugars have q decided tendency up
ward.
New oats are now On the market in
considerable quantities.
WOOL.
With only moderate demand, the
various eastern wool markets show firm
prices. In these two particulars the
situation is unchanged since last week,
Local buyers still operate freely at the
west, and in some quarters but little
desirable stock remains Ia first hands.
In Texas, for example, the clip has been
well cleaned up. Purchases, however, are
made more cautiously than month ago.
The distributing markets on the seaooard
do not as yet respond to the excited f9el-
ing which prevails in the interior. Ap-
pearanCes indicate that the boom has
reached is height. The frmnesS Cf
money Cnd the prospect of increased i'm
pOrtations of medium wool tend - check
any further advances. Holders here and
there, indeed ere anxious to sell. There
is no material change in the outlook foT
woClen fabrics. Manufacturers are
uncertain what the lightweight season
VIII bring forth, and for the present are
taking nothing for future wants. They
gre, however, rather more hopeful than
ia TIE spring.

How We Look Abroad,

George Morgan, who was in st. Paul
attending our fair in the interest of the
Chicago Herseman, writes quite fully
and freely upon what he saw up here
during fair week land in doing so touches
up the Twin Cities in the following vein:
The Minnesota State Fair grounds are very
beautiful, and elegant buildings suitable to
their purposes adorn them. There is ire
mendous art hall, i'll which are displayed
stuffs and fabrics which make even unselfish
people covetous. There are machinery halls
in which are shown all the curious labor saw
ing machines which the skin and genius OF
eminent inventors and artisans have been
taxed TO produce; there are agricultural halls
in which are exhibited grand specimens of
grains and vegetables which represent the
wonderful agricultural interests of The
great Northwest, and are at once the
pride and glory of the sturdy yeoman. yclept
the granger-all these departments are well
filled and contribute their full share to the
success of this model organization; but it is
in the speed department of this fair that our
interest centers. In this department the
management have put forth unwearied efforts
TO secure for the entertainment of the peo-
pie unexampled attractions Large purses
have been given and every possible induce
ment offered TO bring together the very best
class of horses on the turf, and their efforts
have been crowned with complete success
Every class is well filled and the most noted
horses and drivers known to the public are
here to compete for the liberal purses offered

HOW WOMEN BEGIN TO DRINK.
Startling Figures From a Prison
superintendent in Massachu-

superintendent in MaSSaChu-
sets.
Godey's Lady's Book
Out of an examination of 2O4 inebriate
women have found that 12S began their
drinking by the use of beer. 81 by drink
ing whisky las punch at first usually, 20
began with wine. s with gin, and II
could not remember what beverage was
first used. These young girls, mill and
shop girls largely, began by going to
some so-called refreshment saloon with
their friends, and the debutante usually
began by slipping little tonic made of
hops, sugar and water, charged with
carbonic acid gas and colOred with burnt
sugar; beer soon followed, and soon riot
ing. other kinds of intOxicantS, reckless
ness and crime: and what was an limo
cent, foolish girl yesterday IS to-day a
branded criminal, and all for a glass of
beer. Alas. how many ruined lives |
have seen!
Beer was also the beverage which
other inebriate women used to entice
the younger ones to drink. A call upon
one of these old sots was the signal for
the pitcher OF beer to be sent for, and a
little coaXing and urging would result
in the first fatal glass being INDUCED in.
The steps were then easy. Beer is the
trap which the drunkard-maker
sets for the feet of the unwary,
and he usually makes sure of his
prey because of it. A glass of raw
whisky would have presented but slight
attraction to those OverwOrked, half-fed
girls, had it been offered them at first.
After that sleeping devil; the appetite
for int0XicantS, had been aroused by
beer, it became altogether a different
matter, and at last. in many cases. chic
reform OF peppermint-Oil was added to
the drink of these maddened creatures,
so furious had the appetite become for
something stronger.
1t may be of interest to note that out
of the 204 inebriate women, 126 had been
guilty of other crimes, and yet but in
sixteen instances did the first commit
ment of crime antedatc the habit Of
drinking.
OF the beverages first used. while in
but 81 cases it began with whisky, in
1S7 it had become the favOrite beverage.
Several hopeless drunkards, far gone
toward insanity. had never drank any
other intoXicant than beer.
One hundred and thirty-two were
committed to prison for drunkenness, 81
for otfenses against chastity and public
order and l6 for crimes against property
Their ages when last committed aver
aged thirty and One-half years of aye
Siyty-five were between thny and for
ty-one years of age, Il. between twenty
five and tllirty-one years of age, 81 be-
tween twenty and twenty-six years of
age, 80 between fifteen and twenty-one
years of age. The remainder were over
forty-one years of age.
Many of tiRsOlder ones could not tell
how many sentences they had received,
showing the absolute usesessncss Of
